Sint-Anna transforms a once-blocky 1970s house in Kortrijk, Belgium, into an elevated retreat by Decancq-Vercruysse Architects. The project inverts the traditional layout, lifting everyday living to the first floor and surrounding it with terraces and trees. What began as an under-budget duplex becomes a calm suburban home, tuned to garden light, shifting seasons, and a quieter pace of life.

OYO has renovated a home into the Dune House in Ghent, Belgium. Designed in 2021, the project includes a sustainable approach with a ground water heat pump and solar panels. Key features include a raised roof edge and sleek black-stained wooden planks. The half-embedded structure preserves the historical character while integrating modern comfort, providing an oasis with geothermal cooling and smart storage solutions.
